I get that, but the Mac n cheese on the left is made by people in the south, not just black people. In fact a lot of things labeled as "black" are actually just southern. Its just the south has better food than the north. White people are eating it too.
Edit: as a European who likes spicy food, anything you're likely to get north of the Mason Dixon line is basically inedible slopp. Go eat a bowl of seafood gumbo and tell me I'm wrong. Go on, I'll wait. And while you're down there, bring me some southern maid donuts.
Gumbo, if you know how to cook it, is the same basic thing as split pea and ham soup, if you're doing that right. It's a classic "same thing but local ingredients" deal, French cooking by way of the Acadians down to Louisiana.
A lot of southern things were co-opted from blacks. It's called soul food for a reason.
Pasta is not one of those things.
